Same genus though?
Should it be moved back to genus or do (will you) have a new species name?

Maybe it's an import?
Jim, I think you've got the right idea. I ran through "tenebrionidae" Google images and found a couple hundred.

Closest I could come to mine were two insects at a Russian site, called blaps rugosa and anatolica undulata. Blaps?

We really have very few western tenebs on bugguide, and in the western US is where they reside in greatest number and variety.
